Fedora Installation :: File System Not Recognized - Alienware
May 28, 2011
I currently have windows 7 installed. There are two partitions. The OS is on one and the other one is used for data. Is there anyway this could be a problem?
The only readable error I have gotten is from suse. Said something about an unreadable file system. All of the others have just hung at some point during the live cd boot.
I have now tried live cds of the following and none have worked.
Its a stock alienware that I bought 3 years ago. The only change I have made is updating the ram, which I bought directly from dell to make sure it was compatible. The alienware is an intel core 2 duo, 4 gigs of ram, 160gb HD, dual sli nvidia graphics cards. not sure about the mother board, could figure it out if its necessary. Is there any reason the hardware wouldn't be supported?

I'm trying to cross-compile glibc 2.2.3 for PowerPC 405 using ELDK 3.0 on a x86_64 machine.
I have unzipped glibc-2.2.3 in a temp directory and configured using:
The configuration seems to run fine but when I do make I get the following error:
This is the error in the config.log file:
I have installed the libgd package using apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev and I also tried recompiling using libgd2-noxpm-dev package but I still get the same error.

I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu in either text mode or default graphical mode.
Here's my configuration:
1) Intel core i7-960 (8MB L3 cache, 3.2 GHz Bloomfield)
2) 6 GB triple Channel DDR3 (1333 Mhz, 3x2GB)
3) 2x 1GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity (Crossfire)
4) 1 16X BD-ROM/CD/DVD/RW 1 24X CD/DVD/RW
[code]...
I created two EXT3 partitions (one for /boot and the other for /) and alinux swap partition after leaving 500 GB for my C drive on the HDD. I then booted into linux using the install ISO burned onto a CD. I can see the menu where I get the option to install/run Ubuntu and the option to install in text mode, but when I go ahead,I get the following errors Install Errors After these messages, the monitor goes blank and nothing happens.

How do I get a DVD-R and its contents to be recognized by the operating system? I know there is a "mount" command somewhere, and to unmount there is the "umount". I just don't know how to use these.

I have a dual booted system - windoze and f12 (64bit). I try to have all partitions mounted in fedora so have edited my fstab. This has been successful for my ntfs partitions but on boot fat32 is not a recognized filing system? Fortunately I don't need the partition but would be good to know how to label it?

I am loving the opensource driver as I don't have to switch to "discrete" mode in BIOS to get 3D support as I would have to with Ubuntu. (M11x has switchable graphics which is not supported by the nvidia proprietary driver for linux) I need some help with the audio though. In case of Ubuntu 10.04 I had to download and install realtek HD drivers for linux from

I cannot do the same for Fedora as I get compile errors.

This is after I run the install script as specified in the "Readme".
Here is my system config .
It works. I just realized that sound is heard when the laptop is connected to an external speaker. Internal speakers still don't work. I don't know how to fix this (probably fix the switches somewhere another mixer gui or via command line) and I don't really care as the internal speakers aren't that great and I almost never use them.

I made a backup of some mp3 and ogg files onto a a DVD. I had to re-install my OS and now need these backup files. The files show up on the file navigator and show appropriate file sizes but they are not recognized by any of several players I have tried (Rhythmbox, xmms,vlc, amarok).

This works fine for most libraries:

When installing Fedora 10 or 11 Alpha, I get the following message when attempting to install the entire root filesystem (including /boot) to a vfat partition:"Error with Partitioning.The following critical errors exist with your requested partitioning scheme. These errors must be corrected prior to continuing with your install of Fedora.
Bootable partitions cannot be on an vfat filesystem.

What file system should I use to partition a slow and old hard drive? I know that ext2 was best for old computers which mine is not but I am using an old hard drive for extra storage and I was curious if anyone knew if using ext2 or ext4 would show any performance differences.

I have a LiveCD (DVD with many linux versions on it) and no other software on my computer at the moment. The computer specs are as follow:
When I use the live cd I get the following message: Cannot find root file system
I have tried the suggestion along the lines of:
Then it either goes back to Bash or I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init"
Then my install just freezes there and I need to restart my computer.

I'm new to fedora, and I had an issue when I installed Fedora 11. I remembered how to make a user and password in terminal, and I had to look up the command to start GUI, but the two I found, gdm and startx, were not recognised. How do I start the GUI?

I was in the process of installing Fedora 12 when it came to the "Operating Systems List". Here it recognised only Windows and none of the other 4 Linux distros already installed. Looking at the option to "add" and then given the drop down list for each partition, can someone tell me what to enter in the LABEL box for these partitions, or how to find what to enter in these boxes to enable these distros to be booted?

I was installing Fedora 13 on my computer as I need it for a class I'm taking but wanted to keep Ubuntu (10.04) as well. So now the setup is: Windows 7 on sda, Ubuntu and Fedora on sdb.I did not install the bootloader when Fedora 13 prompted to. Running sudo os-prober and sudo update-grub only finds Windows 7.I know I can manually add it in 40_custom but have no idea how to go ab out that. The output of my fdisk -l is as follows:
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders

fdisk -l /dev/sda1 swap -approx 2g

Currently running F10 on a RAID1 software raid array in Linux (not hardware or BIOS). I used the F13 install disk to boot and selected install/upgrade. Problem is that the Anaconda portion never sees the RAID device.
I tried passing the "nodmraid" argument to the kernel during boot. Other research suggested that the auto=md switch should be appended to the mdadm.conf file. No results from either solution.
Anaconda does not see the /dev/md0 or /dev/md1 and consequently it only offers an installation option.
What I would prefer is to upgrade.

I installed fedora on one of my three hard drives and it seems that something went wrong with the other two. Fedora recognizes the other drives but it seems the data on those drives is not there anymore. The below images are screen shots from my computer folder and disk utility program. I tried to look through Fedora documentation but I did not find a solution to my case.

I see that F11 respin Omega-Pug live CD is available for download. Before I use up the bandwidth, can someone suggest if the file system default installation is ext 4, as in F11 live cd, or can one now choose ext 3. The reason I am asking is that mine is currently ext3, and I would not like to lose my /home partition, with all the stuff that has accumulated.

my partitioning layout was as follows
Vista Recovery
Windows 7
GRUB
Extended
-->Fedora 12 (ext4)
so, I shrunk my recovery in Windows 7 successfully, and booted into my Fedora 12 live cd to run Gparted, and move the partitions so that the free space could go towards fedora, I did such, and then I couldn't expand the partition to my dismay. Next, I woke up this morning, tried to boot to fedora to run SSH, grub loaded, but when I tried to boot fedora, I got the "File system check failed" error, and when I tried 7, it just went to a blank screen with a single "_" in the top left-hand corner.

My new Alienware M17X-R2 notebook freezes when it's working on battery power and the AC adapter is then plugged in. If I do that while Ubuntu isn't running -- while the computer is booting, for instance --, then it doesn't freeze, so the problem must be with Ubuntu. By the way, I also experience freezing sometimes when booting, but that is linked with plymouth and fsck not wanting to coexist and, therefore, probably unrelated with the other issue.

Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up incase you wern't aware, someone over on the ubuntu forums wrote a program in java that changes the lights on your alienware laptop. It may work with the desktop's as well.
I'll just post a link to my build script and you can follow it from there: [url]
Also, if you build HAL against libsmbios (from Dell) You'll get some bonus keys working as well, such as the eject key.
I love this new alienware M15X... It's a freaking beast of a laptop with 2 quad i7core procs....
